# USDA Sees Australian Wheat Crop at 34 Million Tons | KQLX

> USDA's FAS in Canberra put Australia's 2022/23 wheat crop at 34 million tonnes, down from the record 36.3 Mt in 2021/22 but the second-largest on record. Barley is forecast at 12.2 Mt versus a record 13.9 Mt last year, with rain at harvest the main quality risk.

## Why it matters

A large but smaller Australian wheat and barley crop than last year offers ample export supply, which keeps feed grain prices from rising on Australian supply concerns.
